Engineering CAD

Parametric 3D CAD for mechanical parts and assemblies, from concept geometry to manufacturing drawings and iterative prototype development.

Engineering CAD visualisation

Project overview

Engineering CAD converts functional requirements into controlled 3D parts, assemblies and drawings that can be reviewed, manufactured and revised.

The workflow can cover robotic mechanisms, linkages, housings, brackets, fixtures and other engineered components using Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks.

Design reviews consider fit, motion, tolerances, interfaces, materials, fasteners, serviceability and manufacturability before physical prototyping.

Technology and architecture

Autodesk Inventor
SolidWorks
Parametric part and assembly modelling
Exploded views and assembly documentation
2D manufacturing drawings and tolerancing
Motion, interference and fit checks
STEP, STL and DXF export
Design-for-manufacture and prototype iteration

Potential value

Faster iteration before fabrication
Clearer communication between engineering and manufacturing
Reduced fit and interference errors
Reusable design history and controlled revisions
A stronger path from concept to physical prototype

Roadmap

A staged route to evidence.

Phase 1

Requirements and concept

Define interfaces, motion, loads, dimensions, materials and an initial parametric concept.

Phase 2

Detailed assembly

Develop parts and assemblies, run fit and interference checks, and prepare manufacturing documentation.

Phase 3

Prototype and validation

Fabricate or print selected parts, test the mechanism, capture issues and feed measured results back into the CAD model.
